ASPINWALL  NOTAEIAL  RECORDS. 


This  volume  contains  the  notarial  records  of  William 
Aspinwall,  Recorder  of  the  Suffolk  County  Court  from 
November  13,  1644,  until  October  H,  1651. 

He  was  the  second  to  hold  the  office,  the  first 
being  Stephen  Winthrop,  the  fourth  son  of  Gov. 
John  Winthrop,  who  was  Recorder  from  September 
9,  1639  (being  appointed  by  order  of  the  General  Court), 
until  the  choice  of  William  Aspinwall,  November 
13,  1644,  at  a  General  Court  of  Election. 

The  following  account  of  William  Aspinwall  was 
compiled  by  the  late  John  T.  Hassam,  and  forms 
part  of  the  introduction  to  Liber  X.  of  Suffolk  Deeds, 
and  by  whose  kind  permission  it  is  here  republished. 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that,  according  to  the 
Julian  calendar,  which  was  in  use  at  the  time,  the 
legal  year  began  on  the  25th  of  March,  so  that  the  date 
of  the  first  entry  in  the  records  is  November  20,  1644.

August  27,  1630.  His  wife  Elizabeth  was  the  six- 
teenth in  that  Hst.  He  was  the  second  in  the  list  of 
thirteen  who  remained  inhabitants  in  Charlestown  in 
1630.  September  28,  1630,  he  was  one  of  the  jury 
impanelled  to  inquire  concerning  the  death  at  "M"" 
Cradocks  plantacon  "  of  Austin  Bratcher.^  He  took 
the  oath  of  freeman  ^  April  3,  1632. 

He  was  one  of  the  Selectmen  of  Boston  ^  in  1636 
and  1637,  and  was  chosen  deputy  to  the  General 
Court  *  in  1637  in  place  of  Sir  Henry  Yane ;  but  as 
he  was  a  supporter  of  Wheelwright  in  the  "  Antino- 
mian  Controversy,"  ^  and  had  signed  a  remonstrance 
in  his  favor,  the  Court  deposed  him  from  member- 
ship by  the  following  order,^  passed  JN'ovember  2, 
1637:  — 

"  M""  William  Aspinwall  being  questioned  in  regard  his 
hand  was  to  a  petition  or  remonstrance,  &  he  iustified  the 
same,  maintaining  it  to  bee  lawful] ;  the  Court  did  discharge 
him  from  being  a  member  thereof." 

By  the  following  order  "^  of  the  same  date  he  was 
disfranchised  and  banished :  — 

"M""  Willi:  Aspinwall  being  convented  for  haveing  his 
hand  to  a  petition  or  remonstrance,  being  a  seditious  libell, 
&  iustifiing  the  same,  for  w"'',  &  for  his  insolent  &  turbulent 
carriage,  hee  is  disfranchized  &  banished,  puting  in  sureties 
for  his  departure  before  the  end  of  the  first  month  next 
ensuing.

errors  "  by  the  "  opinions  &  revelations  of  M'  Wheele- 
wright  &  M""^  Hutchinson,"  he  was  disarmed  by  an 
order  ^  of  the  General  Court  of  ISTovember  20,  1637. 

With  others  of  "y^  opinionists,"  thus  disarmed, 
disfranchised,  and  banished,  he  joined  in  the  move- 
ment to  found  a  new  colony  in  Rhode  Island,  and  he 
was  one  of  those  who,  on  the  7th  day  of  the  1st 
month,  1638,  "  solemnly  in  the  presence  of  Jehovah," 
incorporated  themselves  "into  a  Bodie  Politick"^ 
signing  the  compact  at  Portsmouth,  Rhode  Island. 
He  was  the  first  Secretary  of  the  infant  Colony. 

But  his  life  in  Rhode  Island  was  not  destined  to  be 
a  peaceful  one,  as  the  following  order ,^  passed  7'^  12°"° 
1638-9,  shows:  — 

"Mr.  Aspinwall  being  a  suspected  person  for  sedition 
against  the  State,  it  was  thought  meet  that  a  stay  of  the 
building  of  his  Bote  should  be  made ;  whereupon  y®  work- 
man was  forbidden  to  proceed  any  further." 

And  on  the  28^^  2"^°  1639,  his  shallop  was  attached 
for  debt.* 

He  was  in  Connecticut  in  1642,  and  was  a  witness 
in  the  case  of  George  Spencer '"  at  a  General  Court 
held  at  New  Haven,  March  2,  1641-2. 

At  a  General  Court  held  at  Boston,  October  7, 
1641,  the  following  order  ®  was  passed :  — 

"Willi:  Aspinwall  hath  a  safe  conduct  granted  him  to 
come  &  satisfy  the  counsell,  &,  if  they  thinke  meete,  to  stay 
till  the  Generall  Court ;  if  not,  hee  is  to  depart  till  the 
Generall  Court,  &  then  hee  hath  liberty  to  come  to  the 
Gen'-all  Court."

iv  Introduction. 

At  a  General  Court  held  at  Boston  May  20,  1642, 
the  following  order  ^  was  passed :  — 

"  William  Aspinwall,  upon  his  petition  &  cirtifficat  of  his 
good  carriage,  is  restored  againe  to  his  former  liberty  & 
freedome." 

Governor  Winthrop,^  under  date  of  March  27, 1642, 
gives  this  account  of  it:  — 

"Mr.  William  Aspen  wall,  who  had  been  banished,  as  is 
before  declared,  for  joining  with  Mr.  Wheelwright,  being 
licensed  by  the  general  court  to  come  and  tender  his  sub- 
mission, &c  was  this  day  reconciled  to  the  church  of  Boston. 
He  made  a  very  free  and  full  acknowledgment  of  his  errour 
and  seducement,  and  that  with  much  detestation  of  his  sin. 
The  like  he  did  after,  before  the  magistrates,  who  were 
appointed  by  the  court  to  take  his  submission,  and  upon 
their  certificate  thereof  at  the  next  general  court,  his  sentence 
of  banishment  was  released." 

Having  made  his  peace  with  the  Massachusetts 
authorities,  his  advancement  was  rapid.  At  a  General 
Court  of  Election  held  in  Boston,  September  7, 1643, — 

"M''  Willi:  Aspinwall  is  appointed  clarke  of  the  writtsfor 
Boston."  3 

At  a  General  Court  of  Election  held  in  Boston, 
November  13,  1644, — 

"  M''.  Aspinwall  is  chosen  Recorder  till  y®  next  Co'^t  of 
Election ;  "  * 

and  on  the  same  day  — 

"It  is  ordered,  y*  M""  Willi:  Aspinwall  shalbe  a  publique 
notary  for  this  iurisdiction."  ^

He  joined  the  Artillery  Company  ^  in  1643. 

The  merchants  of  Boston,  attempting  to  secure  a 
monopoly  of  the  Indian  trade,  procured  a  charter  from 
the  General  Court.^  This  was  granted  March  7, 
1643-4:,  in  answer  to  the  petition  of  William  Aspin- 
wall  and  six  others.  Governor  Winthrop's  account 
is  as  follows :  — 

"  Divers  of  the  merchants  of  Boston  being  desirous  to  dis- 
cover the  great  lake,  supposing  it  to  lie  in  the  north  west 
part  of  our  patent,  and  finding  that  the  great  trade  of  beaver 
which  came  to  all  the  eastern  and  southern  parts,  came  from 
thence,  petitioned  the  court  to  be  a  company  for  that  design, 
and  to  have  the  trade  which  they  should  discover,  to  them- 
selves for  twenty-one  years.  The  court  was  very  unwilling 
to  grant  any  monopoly,  but  perceiving  that  without  it  they 
would  not  proceed,  granted  their  desire  ;  whereupon,  having 
also  commission  granted  them  under  the  public  seal,  and  let- 
ters from  the  governour  to  the  Dutch  and  Swedish  gover- 
nours,  they  sent  out  a  pinnace  well  manned  and  furnished  with 
provisions  and  trading  stuff,  which  was  to  sail  up  Delaware 
river  so  high  as  they  could  go,  and  then  some  of  the  com- 
pany, under  the  conduct  of  Mr.  William  Aspenwall,  a  good 
artist,  and  one  who  had  been  in  those  parts,  to  pass  by  small 
skiffs  or  canoes  up  the  river  so  far  as  they  could."  ^ 

But  Aspinwall  and  his  party  were  not  allowed  to 
penetrate  to  the  beaver  country,  the  Swedes  firing 
upon  them  and  the  Dutch  higher  up  the  river  refusing 
to  allow  them  to  pass.* 

But  more  troubles  were  in  store  for  him,  for  at  the 
second  session  of  the  General  Court  held  at  Boston 
October  14, 1651,  the  following  order  ^  was  passed:  — 

"  In  answer  to  the  peticon  of  John  Butten,  Benja  Ward, 
Thomas  Matson,  Willjam  Ludkin,  and  others  of  a  jury 
appointed  to  serve  in  the  lust  County  Court  held  at  Boston,

in  an  accon  betweene  M""  W™  Aspinwall  and  John  Witherden, 
the  Courte  doth  order  that  M"^  Aspinwall  be  convented  before 
the  whole  Courte  on  the  morrow,  being  23  8£,  1651,  to  give 
answer  to  such  things  as  are  chardged  vppon  him  in  this  and 
Witherdens  peticon.  The  partjes  appeared  at  the  time 
appointed,  and  after  the  Court  had  fully  heard  the  cawse,  and 
what  both  partjes  could  say,  the  Court  proceeded  to  judgm"*. 
Itt  is  ordered,  that  henceforth  M*"  W™  Aspinwall  shall  be 
suspended  from  excercising  the  office  of  recorder  or  clarke  in 
any  County  Courte,  for  chardging  the  Courte  and  jury  to 
goe  against  la  we  and  conscience,  making  the  landlord  to  pay 
rent  to  the  tennant,  and  shall  pay  the  some  of  thirty  shillings 
for  the  jurjes  attendance  and  entring  the  peticon,  w"'  fower 
shillings  for  two  wittnesses  attendance. 

"  Itt  is  ordered,  that  M""  Edward  Rawson,  present  secretary 
to  the  Generall  Courte,  shall  henceforth  be  recorder  for  the 
county  of  Suffolke,  and  that  M'"  Aspinwall  deliuer  him  all  the 
records  belonging  to  the  sajd  county. 

"  Itt  is  ordered,  that  Jonathan  Negus,  at  the  request  of  the 
toune  of  Boston,  shall  henceforth  be  clarke  of  the  writts  for 
the  toune  of  Boston,  in  M''  Aspin walls  roome,  who  is  to  give 
him  the  records  of  deaths,  births,  and  marrjages,  in  his 
hands,  y'  belongs  to  that  office." 

At  the  second  session  of  the  General  Court  ^  held 
at  Boston  October  26,  1652, 

"  M""  Nathaniell  Souther  is  appointed  publicke  notary  for

He  addressed  the  following  letter,  dated  24:  5 
1652,  to  the  General  Court :  ^  — 

"  May  it  please  yo^  to  consider,  that  manifould  haue  beene 
the  afflictions  I  haue  suffered  since  I  came  into  this  Country, 
&  it  adds  vnto  them  the  late  order  you  made  that  I  should 
deliver  vp  my  bookes  vnto  the  secretary,  but  most  of  all 
afflictiue  is,  that  my  late  troubles  haue  sprung  from  brethren. 
As  for  others  they  doe  but  theire  kind.  I  justify  not  my

portion  to  suffer  the  more,  for  that  I  haue  beene  yo'^  officer 
(most  vnworthy  I  confesse)  yet  if  ever  occasion  should  be ; 
be  pleased  to  be  tender  of  yo''  officers  especially  of  their 
names  &  creditt  &  suffer  them  not  to  be  objects  of  publick 
scorne  &  reproach.  If  they  be  godly  or  ingenuous  an 
admonition  or  checke  may  suffice  to  redresse  any  thing 
weakly  &  foolishly  done,  but  if  they  grow  corrupt  through 
bribes  or  otherwise  vnfaithfull  to  theire  trust,  justice  will 
require  it  to  make  them  exemplary,  ffor  my  selfe  I  haue 
little  to  say  (being  conscious  of  many  weake  &  feeble  pas- 
sadges)  only  this,  I  haue  desired  to  be  faithfuU,  &  my  aime 
hath  beene  the  Hono"^  of  God  &  his  vice-gerents,  the  publick 
good  of  the  Country,  &  private  of  pticular  psons.  In  refer- 
ence to  yo""  late  order  giue  me  leave  I  beseech  yo"^  w"'out 
offence  to  giue  yo^  an  Account  why  I  haue  not  delivered  the 
bookes  vnto  the  Secretary,  but  rather  voluntarily  chosen  to 
leave  them  w"'  M*^  Cotton. 

"  1.  They  are  no  publick  Records,  as  I  take  it,  nor  can  be ; 
but  privat  Records  of  my  owne  Acts,  of  w'^'^  I  could  not 
otherwise  be  able  at  any  time  to  giue  Account,  nor  be  able 
to  discerne  any  corruption  or  adulteration  that  possibly  might 
be  foisted  in  after  the  writeings  passe  my  hand,  f  [or]  w*^** 
ends  I  thought  it  necessary  to  keepe  such  a  Register.  And 
I  wanted  not  the  advice  of  him  herein,  whom  yo'""  all  will 
owne  as  a  Nursing  father  to  this  Colonie  whilst  he  lived. 

"  2"**'^  Vnles  it  were  the  practise  of  other  Nations  so  to 
doe,  w***  I  believe  it  is  not,  according  to  that  intelligence  I 
haue  had,  it  will  reflect  some  imputation  or  suspition  of 
vnfaithfulnes  vppon  me  to  take  them  away  by  an  order ;  & 
that  will  weaken  the  Credit  of  the  bookes  themselves  or  any 
thing  to  be  taken  out  of  them,  ffor  such  as  is  the  Credit  of 
the  pson,  such  wilbe  the  creditt  of  his  acts  &  bookes,  &  that 
is  the  Reason  why  the  State  &  Goverment  doe  putt  credit 
vppon  the  pson,  by  designeing  him  to  such  a  Comon  service, 
&  therefore  as  they  are  carefull  to  choose  such  psons  for  that 
purpose  as  are  qualifyed,  &  have  variety  of  tongues  (at  least 
the  Latin  tongue)  so  specially  they  doe  take  care  (or  should) 
that  they  be  faithfull,  in  whose  truth  men  may  confide. 

"3'y  It  would  be  prejudicial!  both  to  my  selfe,  &  all 
therein  concerned  to  take  them  away,  ffor  no  man  can 
safely  &  effectually  attest  any  thing  out  of  my  privat  write- 
ings but  my  selfe,  nor  shall  I  be  able  to  attest  any  thing 
when  my  bookes  are  taken  away. 

"  4'y.     Very  many  things  therein,   for   brevity  sake,  are

registred  in  such  a  method,  w'^^  none  but  my  selfe  or  by 
instructions  from  me  can  make  vse  of;  they  being  intended 
for  my  privat  vse,  &  my  owne  voluntary  act  w'hout  instruc- 
tions or  injunctions  from  the  Generall  Court. 

"  5^y  The  most  of  the  things  therein  conteined  relate  to 
England  whither  I  am  going,  &  hope  may  be  of  more  use 
there,  both  to  the  Country  &  any  pticular  therein  concerned ; 
intending  the  Lord  pmitting  to  make  my  residence  in  or 
about  London^  where  any  may  haue  easie  Recourse  for  my 
attest. 

"  6'y-  The  bookes  are  mine  owne,  bought  at  my  owne 
chardge,  &  the  Register  therein  my  owne  voluntary  &  handy 
worke,  and  as  proply  mine  as  any  thing  I  possesse  is  mine. 
These  things  considered  I  did  resolve  ( before  yo""  order)  & 
not  w'^^out  advice  of  some  that  knew  the  practise  &  custome 
of  other  places  to  take  my  bookes  w**^  mee,  concluding  this 
w**"  my  selfe,  that  as  I  haue  beene  &  am,  so  through  the  help 
of  Christ  I  shall  remaine  cordially  affected  &  tenderly  carefull 
of  the  good  &  welfare  of  his  Israel  as  any  opportunity  of 
Providence  shall  present.  But  lest  I  should  be  grievous  or 
offensiue  to  yo"^  whom  I  loue  and  honour,  I  haue  determined 
to  leave  them  in  the  hands  of  M'  Cotton,  vppon  promise  of 
the  Special!  Court,  &  confidence  of  yo""  approbation,  that  there 
they  shall  remaine  vntill  yo^  may  vnderstand  from  M""  Winslow 
what  is  vsuall  to  be  done  in  such  cases  of  death  or  removal

KECOEDS  RELATING  TO  THE  EARLY  HISTORY 
OF  BOSTON 

{Formerly  called  Becord  Commissioners^  Reports) 


This  volume,  which  is  the  thirty-second  in  the  series  of  Bos- 
ton Records,  contains  the  notarial  records  of  William  Aspinwall 
from  1644  to  1651  inclusive.  The  work  was  commenced  by 
William  H.  Whitmore,  Esq.,  late  Registrar  of  Boston,  and  com- 
pleted with  the  valuable  assistance  of  Mr.  Walter  K.  WatMns, 
the  well-known  genealogist.

Library  of  the  Boston  Athen^um, 

Boston,  February,  3,  1903. 

My  dear  Me.  McGlenen  : 

On  November  13, 1854,  the  Trustees  of  the  Athenaeum  passed 
a  vote  of  thanks  to  E.  Price  Greenleaf,  Esq.,  for  his  gift  to  the 
Library  of  twenty-nine  valuable  historical  manuscripts.  No  list 
of  these  can  be  found,  but  the  collection  probably  included  the 
Aspinwall  Notarial  Book,  which  was  given  by  him,  as  shown 
by  the  book-plate,  the  notarial  records  of  Samuel  Tyley  (April 
2,  1731,  to  February  28, 1743-4),  of  Ezekiel  Goldthwait  (Decem- 
ber 2,  1748,  to  March  11,  1754),  and  of  Goldthwait's  cousin 
Ezekiel  Price  (June  1,  1754,  to  April  25,  1775,  and  irregularly 
to  August  22,  1780).  They  were  inherited  by  Mr.  Greenleaf 
from  his  grandfather,  Hon.  Ezekiel  Price. ^ 

Price  was  a  patriotic  public  man,  a  shipping  and  insurance 
broker,  and  notary,  whose  office  afforded  a  meeting  place  for 
the  prominent  men  of  Boston  for  half  a  century.  Public  and 
private  records,  brought  together  in  those  unsettled  times, 
would  there  find  a  convenient  resting  place  either  for  tem- 
porary use  or  for  permanent  preservation ;  in  days  past  officials 
upon  their  retirement  not  infrequently  carried  their  manuscript 
records  with  them.^  Price  acquired  many  papers  while  notary 
public,  a  justice  of  the  peace,  and  a  selectman  of  Boston,  but 
especially  as  confidential  secretary  to  Governors  Shirley,  Pow- 
nal,  and  Bernard,  as  deputy  for  the  Vice- Admiralty  Court,  and 
as  Clerk  of  the  Courts  of  Sessions  and  of  Common  Pleas  for 
Suffolk  County.  From  time  to  time  he  gave  manuscripts  to  the 
Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  of  which  he  was  a  member; 
he  also  republished  a  sermon  on  his  great  grandfather,  Ezekiel 
Cheever,  the  schoolmaster,  and  in  other  ways  showed  an  interest 
in  antiquarian  matters.  At  his  death,  in  1802,  his  "  small  library 
of  books  "  was  left  by  will  to  be  divided  equally  between  his 
grandsons,  Thomas  and  Ezekiel  Price  Greenleaf.    (  Suffolk  Wills,

ber, 1897,  pages  61,  62. 

*  "  I  did  resolve  &  not  ■w"'out  advice  of  some  that  knew  the  practise  &  custome  of 
other  places  to  take  my  bookes  wth  mee."  Aspinwall's  letter,  1652.  Proceedings

4  ASPINWALL   NOTABIAL   RECORDS. 

Lib.  C,  331).     His  manuscripts  probably  fell  to  Price  Greenleaf 
upon  the  fulfilment  of  this  provision  of  the  will. 

It  is  at  present  impossible  to  trace  the  history  of  the  Aspin- 
wall  Notarial  Book  before  it  came  into  Price's  hands.  Aspinwall 
himself  referred  to  it  in  1650  (Book  of  Possessions,  p.  54)  as  "  my 
notaries  booke."  In  a  letter  addressed  to  the  General  Court  in 
1652,  Aspinwall  said  that  he  intended  to  leave  his  records  with 
Mr.  Cotton,  "  vntill  yo^  may  vnderstand  from  M""  Winslow  what 
is  vsuall  to  be  done  in  such  cases  of  death  or  removal  of  Notary 
into  another  Country."  In  a  postscript  he  stated  his  willingness 
to  turn  over  his  records  (although  "no  publick  Records,  as  I 
take  it,  nor  can  be,  but  privat  Records  of  my  owne  Acts")  to 
be  kept  by  Mr.  Rawson,  then  Recorder  for  the  County  of 
Suffolk.  A  spin  wall's  Book  of  Possessions  was  described  as  in 
the  Secretary's  office  in  1670  (Suffolk  Deeds,  Lib.  VII.,  156),  and 
in  the  Recorder's  office  in  1672  (Boston  Record  Comm.  Reports, 
II.,  161),  but  no  mention  is  made  of  this  First  Notary's  Book  in 
the  early  Suffolk  deeds;  a  third  volume  (see  Suffolk  Deeds, 
Lib.  VIII.,  187)  and  what  appears  to  be  a  second  volume  (ibid.^ 
Lib.  III.,  45a)  are  there  referred  to.  It  would  seem,  therefore, 
that  this  record  kept  by  Aspinwall  remained  in  private  keeping, 
and  passed  from  hand  to  hand  until  Pxice  received  it.^ 

The  book  itself,  by  an  outside  measurement,  is  lOf  inches 
high,  S^  inches  wide,  and  2J  inches  in  thickness.  The  leather 
covers  have  three  tooled  lines  near  the  edges  and  a  diamond 
shaped  ornament  of  gilt  in  the  centre.  Near  the  top  in  black 
are  the  letters  "  The  Notaries  first  book  Of  Records."  On  the 
first  page  the  autograph  "  Willm  Aspinwall "  occurs  three  times, 
twice  followed  by  "Notr  Publ."  The  paper  has  a  watermark,^  and 
if  the  design  becomes  a  subject  of  study,  we  may  at  some  future 
time  learn  whence  came  the  sheets  on  which  Aspinwall  kept 
his  records. 

Very  truly  yours, 

Charles  Knowles  Bolton. 

Edward  Webster  McGlenen,  Esq. 


1  If  Tyley  obtained  it  in  1731  from  some  earlier  notary,  it  may  have  passed  to  Goldth- 
wait  and  from  him  to  Price.  Price's  great  uncle,  Rev.  Samuel  Cheever,  married  Ruth 
Angler,  and  William  Aspinwall's  daughter  Hannah  married  John  Angler,  but  these 
facts  throw  no  light  on  the  history  of  the  book. 

»The  watermark,  which  Is  armorial,  may  be  thus  described:  On  a  shield  sur- 
mounted  by  a  crown,  quarterly  Ist  and  4th,  three  antique  crowns,  2  and  1 ;  2d  and  3d, 
a  lion  rampant;  and  over  all  an  escutcheon  charged  with  what  appears  to  be  a  quiver.

8.  (10)  1645  M'  Willoughbyes  answer  to  M'  Bourne 
as  followeth.  Whereas  Francis  Willoughby  made  a  ptest 
against  John  Bourne  &  the  Owners  of  the  shipp  Indevo' 
for  not  being  ready  to  set  sayle  by  dayes  limited  &  whereas 
the  said  John  Bourne  made  a  protest  against  the  said  Francis 
Willoughby  he  not  being  ready,  The  said  Willoughby  as  the 
grounds  of  his  protest  &  in  answer  to  the  said  Bournes  pro- 
test saith  as  followeth  That  whereas  the  ship  Indeavo' 
ought  to  have  beene  ready  to  take  in  goods  by  Charter  party 
twelve  dayes  after  her  arrivall  here,  w*''^  should  have  beene 
on  the  day  of  July,  the  said  shipp  was  not  Delivered  of 
those  goods  she  brought  from  England  in  that  time :  &  when 
the  said  Willoughby  uppon  the  same  day  sent  goods  aboard 
as  by  Charter  party  he  was  bound,  the  goods  would  not  be 
taken  in  but  were  sent  on  shoare  againe,  to  the  damadge  of 
M'  John  Taylo""  the  merch*,  there  being  neither  M''  nor  M" 
mate  nor  any  officer  to  cause  them  to  be  taken  in,  &  at  that 
time  there  not  belonging  to  the  said  shipp  sixe  men ;  &  when 
&  afterwards  there  was  goods  brought  aboard,  they  were  faine 
to  lye  at  the  shipp  syde  for  want  of  men  to  take  them  in,  & 
when  taken  in,  they  were  faine  to  lye  for  men  to  stowe  them, 
there  not  belonging  to  the  shipp  above  ten  or  fourteene  men 
at  most:  sometime  the  master  professing  to  me  he  had  not  fy  ve 
men;  so  that  besides  the  length  of  time  in  stovveing  the 


AsPiNWALL  Notarial  Records.  13 

goods,  there  was  not  a  spare  man  to  doe  anything  to  her 
rigging  till  she  was  neere  laden,  so  that  the  ground  of 
the  shipps  not  being  laden  in  time  limited  was  no  fault  of  the 
said  willoughbyes  but  for  want  of  men  according  to  Charter 
party :  And  whereas  the  said  Bourne  in  his  answer  said,  that 
the  shipp  set  sail  the  next  day  after  the  Protest,  the  said 
willoughby,  doth  acknowledge  the  same :  but  the  said  wil- 
loughby  saith  the  said  Bourne  did  it  on  purpose  thinking  to 
save  himselfe  cleare  :  when  that  he  had  not  all  his  Pvision 
on  board  of  beere  and  bread  and  fish  till  the  sixth  of  Septem- 
ber, and  when  it  was  done  he  lay  till  the  nienth  before  he  set 
saile,  his  Owners  goeing  downe  either  to  feast  or  reckon  and 
make  over  their  Accounts  on  the  eighth  day.  And  whereas 
he  saith,  shipps  use  to  have  fourty  eight  houres  to  wood 
and  water,  the  said  willoughby  saith,  the  shipp  was  laden  com- 
pleatly  before  the  said  willoughby  protested  :  And  whereas 
he  saith,  the  Bills  of  lading  were  not  Psented  till  the  Dayes 
were  out,  the  said  Willoughby  could  not  take  the  bills  till  the 
shipp  was  laden,  and  the  shipp  was  not  laden  till  the  dayes 
were  out,  but  the  ground  was  not  in  the  said  willoughby  as 
the  reasons  above  make  it  evident.  This  is  the  true  answer 
which  the  said  willoughby  Psented  to  me  in  writeing  with 
his  owne  hand  the  day  and  yeare  above  written.     /

my  children  are  at  this  present  time  now  praised  be  the  Lord 
for  it.  Brother  the  cause  of  my  writeing  to  yo"  is  this,  I 
heard  not  from  yo*^  a  greate  while  until  m'^  Richard  Wright 
brought  me  newes  that  yo"  were  well,  but  he  could  tell  me 
nothing  concerning  my  children  w°^  is  a  great  griefe  unto 
mee.  The  parting  from  them  was  a  great  griefe  unto  mee 
^ch  brought  me  nee  re  unto  death  but  the  Lord  in  mercy 
raised  me  up  againe,  blessed  be  the  Lord  for  his  mercie  unto 
mee.  But  since  m'^  Wright  came  over  &  can  tell  me  no 
newes  from  them,  w*''^  is  a  great  griefe  unto  mee,  &  I  am 
afraid  that  they  are  not  well  because  it  pleased  God  to  take 
away  my  Brother  out  of  this  world  before  they  were  able  to 
helpe  themselves,  w^*^  makes  mee  the  more  fearefull  that 
that  they  be  not  so  looked  unto  as  if  it  had  pleased  Almighty 
God  that  hee  had  lived,  for  then  he  would  have  beene  a 
father  to  them  by  his  pmise  unto  mee.  Yet  if  they  be  w*^

uppon  my  two  bonds  due  to  M"^  Jn°  Bland,  my  reply  is,  I

of  long  time  hath  not  beene  pcurable  for  such  a  value,  w**** 
foreseeing,  &  remembering  M"^  Bland  desired  (at  sealinge

more  Facile :  I  writ  him  that  if  he  pleased  he  might  now 
have  halfe  his  pay  in  fish  &  accordingly  am  pvided, 
&  the  other  halfe  I  hope  well  to  pcure  in  Beaver 
to  pay  so  as  may  be  sent  in  Octob'  or  Novembe"^  the

Auditors,  viz*,  M""  Duncan  Auditor  Generall,  M""  Allen  & 
M"^  Addington  to  examine  the  Ships  accounts  &c.,  &  to  cer-

Major  Sedgwick's  Answer.  —  In  answ'  to  a  protest  made 
by  M"^  Clarke  for  non  performance  of  a  bill  of  Exchange  w*^^ 
was  for  200  Kint  fish  charged  p  M""  Robt  Houghton  uppon 
mee,  I  answer  thus.  When  I  came  to  the  He  of  Shoales 
about  the  12*^  of  June  1649  I  tould  M"^  Clarke  I  would  sat- 
isfy &  pay  the  200  Kint  of  fish  according  to  the  contents 
thereof.  And  also  knowing  that  there  was  fish  due  to  him 
from  others  that  I  was  jointly  ingaged  for,  I  tould  him,  what 
ever  came  of  it,  the  first  fish  I  put  on  board  should  bee  in 
consideration  of  this  bill,  w*''*  he  pmised  to  accept  of  in  that 
consideration.  Now  I  haveing  laded  fish  uppon  severall 
accounts  uppon  the  shipp  M"^  Clark  was  in,  when  I  came  to 
account,  I  first  demanded  up  the  s*^  bill  of  200  Kint,  w'^'*  hee 
denyed,  and  would  not  let  me  have  it,  but  forced  me  to  dis- 
count the  s*^  200  Kintalls  upon  another  Account  volens 
nolens,  at  that  place,  there  being  no  power  to  compell. 

I  also  attested  a  Copie  of  the  protest.

1.  Concerning  the  Iron  being  seventeene  Tunns  three

after  the  rate  of  fourteene  pounds  the  Tunne,  &  if  the  s*^ 
John  Peters  can  make  it  appeare  it  cost  more  in  Holland 
sterl  money  that  then  the  s**  Parris  is  to  allow  so  much  more, 
all  w*^''  is  to  be  allowed  after  the  shipp  ffortunes  arrivall  at 
Barbados  from  Guiney. 

2.  Whereas  there  were  Charter  pties  drawne  betweene

tune  it  is  agreed  betweene  them  that  the  s^  Charter  parties 
shalbe  void  &  of  none  effect,  &  the  later  agreem*  made 
betweene  them  in  New  England  to  stand  in  force,  to  w"^  we 
cannot  but  consent  &  award. 

3.  We  award,  being  p  the  s*^  Peters  agreed  unto,  that 
what  money  the  s**  John  Parris  have  paid  unto  the  s**  John 
Peters,  w*'^  is  two  hundred  &  fifty  pounds  sterl,  that  the 
s*^  Peters  is  to  allow  the  s^  Parris,  for  the  forbearance  & 
adventure  of  the  same  as  two  indifferent  men  shall  judge, 
w*^**  is  according  to  Charter  party. 

4  We  award  that  John  Parris  shall  give  unto  the  8^  John 
Peters  at  the  arrivall  of  the  s*^  shipp  ffortune  from  Guiney  to 
the  Island  of  Barbados  one  Negro  boy  cleare  of  all  Charges,

Before  mee  W™  Aspiuwall  &c:  psonally  appeared  Thomas

Greene  Master  of  the  good  shipp  called  the  Swallow  of 
London  for  these  reasons  following ;  first  for  that  he  did  not 
sett  saile  from  Gravesend  towards  New  Engl,  uppon  the 
10*^  of  March  1649  according  to  pmise,  nor  till  nienteene 
dayes  after,  to  wit,  the  nien  &  twentieth  of  the  same. 
Secondly  that  he  did  not  take  into  his  ship  all  the  goods  of 
the  s*^  Lun  according  to  pmise,  notw^'^standing  he  tooke  in 
other  merch*^  goods  to  whom  he  was  not  ingaged  when  first 
he  pmised  the  s*^  Thomas  Lun  to  take  in  his  goods,  by  reason 
whereof  the  s*^  Tho.  Lunne  hath  wanted  time  to  pvide  his 
Complem*  of  fish,  &  for  want  of  his  s*^  goods  hath  lost  the 
opportunity  of  his  Market.  Uppon  w*'^  grounds  &  reasons 
&  at  the  request  of  the  s*^  Tho.  Lunne,  I  the  Notary  afore- 
said doe  ptest  against  yo™  m'  W"  Greene  because  yo""  ship 
did  not  set  saile  from  Gravesend  according  to  pmise,  nor  did 
take  in  all  his  goods  according  to  yo"^  engagement,  that  what 
soever  Demorage  or  other  Damage  the  s*^  Lunne  is  lyable 
unto,  yo*^  the  s^  m"^  Greene  are  the  cause  thereof  &  shalbe 
justly  liable  to  make  him  just  &  due  separations  in  time  & 
place  convenient.  Thus  done  &  passed  in  the  towne  of

Greene  replyed  1.  that  he  did  not  coven*  to  set  saile  fro 
Gravesend  by  the  10  march  as  is  p'"tended.  2^^  that  when 
the  s*^  Th.  Lun  sent  his  goods  aboard  his  ship,  they  were  not 
rejected  &  therefore  his  protest  is  causles.

doe  wee  desire  any  such  power,  but  leave  that  to  him  selfe.

ther we  have  no  need  to  hyre  a  ship,  &  therefore  deny  the 
giveing  of  any  security.

foUoweth.  ffirst  to  severall  untruths  therein  contained,  he 
saith,  he  to  wit  M'  Jarvis  knew  of  the  voyage  to  Malaga  from 
London,  the  s^  John  Jarvis  being  then  there :  &  also  the  s** 
Jarvis  knew  of  this  last  voyage  to  the  Canaries  &  therefore 
should  have  spoken  truth  in  his  ptest.  ffurther  the  s"^  Atf 
answ'eth,  that  it  is  untrue  that  he  hath  beene  put  of  from 


354  AspiNWALL  Notarial  Records. 

Court  to  Court  as  the  Records  of  the  Court  will  declare,  the 
Action  being  but  entred  in  July  &  through  his  owne  default 
not  issued,  when  M"  Addington  attended  uppon  the  issue 
thereof.  And  this  Court  hath  fully  heard  the  Cause,  &  on 
the  seventeenth  of  this  instant  are  to  give  in  theire  Judgm*  in 
the  Case.  It  is  also  untrue  that  he  saith  he  desired  to  ob- 
tame  a  true  Account  &  could  not :  for  M"  Addington  &  Edw. 
Bendall  his  Atturney 

[Page  318.] 

tendred  to  M"  Jarvis  to  refer  the  Accounts  to  able  men,  both 
before  the  Court  &  since,  as  the  Atturney  affirmeth. 

2^y.  Secondly  to  the  Substance  of  M'  Jarvis  Allegation, 
he  answ'^eth,  that  M""  Addington  long  since  in  London  &  now 
againe  iu  Court  hath  rendered  him  a  true  Ace",  of  the  Vir- 
ginia Voyage,  w*=^  is  all  the  Account  that  is  due  to  him.  ffor 
it  appeared  by  Capt  John  Leveretts  testimonie  &  sundry 
other  circumstances  (as  that  he  neither  tooke  any  care  for 
fitting  her  out  to  sea,  nor  ptested  against  the  Malaga  Voyage 
though  he  knew  thereof,  &  that  M'  Jarvis  himself  confessed 
in  Court,  uppon  certaine  termes  to  have  given  order  to  the 
m'  for  sale  of  the  ship)  that  the  s"^  John  Jarvis  had  sould  his 
former  interest,  &  himself e  saith  in  the  begining  of  his  protest, 
that  London  was  the  Port  of  M""  Addingtons  discharge  from 
tlie  ship,  &  there  JVP  Addington  gave  him  an  Ace**,  under  his 
his  hand,  the  very  same  w''^  hath  now  done  &  proved  in 
Court:  These  are  the  answ"^  w*'*'  at  present  the  Atturney 
gave,  leaveing  it  to  M'  Addington  uppon  knowledge  of  the 
same  to  returne  more  plenary  answers.  Thus  done  &  passed

Before  mee  W™  Aspinwall  No*  &  Tab:  publ  by  Authority 
of  the  Gener^  Court  of  the  Massachusetts  admitted  &  swome, 
psonally  appeared  John  Jarvis  merch*.  &  presented  me  this 
writing  as  followeth  to  declare  unto  Edw.  Bendall  Atf  to 
M"^  Isaac  Addington  &  to  receive  his  answ',  w*'*^  accordingly 
I  did,     The  contents  foUowe. 

A  reply  to  the  prevaricating  answer  of  Edw. 
Bendall  unto  a  ptest  against  Isaac  Addington 
&  Capt  John  Leveret. 

1.  Whereas  Edward  Bendall  answereth  unto  the  ptest 
afores**  as  to  untruths,  &  saith  in  the  first  place,  that  John 
Jarvis  knew  of  the  voyage  from  London  to  Malago,  as  also 
(as  he  saith)  of  this  last  voyage  to  the  Canaries;  In  answ' 
to  w*''^  as  touching  the  first  voyage  from  London  to  Malago, 
as  also  her  last  voyage,  as  iu  the  protest  expressed,  to  the 
Canaries,  John  Jarvis  saith  they  were  both  w^^out  his  con- 
sent or  privity  thereunto,  therefore  he  speaketh  truth  in  his 
ptest. 

2.  Whereas  Edward  Bendall  saith  that  it  is  untrue  that 
John  Jarvis  hath  beene  put  of  from  Court  to  Court  as  the 
Records  of  the  Court  (as  he  saith)  will  declare.  To  w*'^  I 
answer  that  sufficient  testimony  wilbe  pduced  to  the  con- 
trary, as  also  from  records  of  the  Court,  to  prove  what  John 
Jarvis  in  his  ptest  hath  spoken  to  be  true  &  what  Edward 
Bendall  hath  said  to  be  untrue. 

3.  Whereas  Edward  Bendall  answereth  that  John  Jarvis 
desired  to  obtaine  a  true  Account  from  Isaac 


[Page  327.] 

Addington  &  could  not  (as  John  Jarvis  yet  affirmeth) 
whereas  the  s**  Edw:  Bendall  saith  that  Isaac  Addington 
long  since  in  London  &  now  here  in  Court  hath  rendred  him 


364  AspiNWALL  Notarial  Records. 

a  true  Acc°.  of  the  Virginia  voyage,  w*'^  is  untrue,  for  the 
Accounts  p'sented  in  London  as  also  here  are  not  true  nor 
just  as  will  evidently  be  made  so  to  appeare. 

4.  Whereas  Edw.  Bendall  saith  that  the  Ace**,  of  the 
Virginia  voyage  was  all  the  Accounts  that  were  due  unto 
John  Jarvis,  the  w^^  is  false  &  untrue,  for  John  Jarvis  ought 
to  have  had  an  Ace**,  of  his  third  of  the  ship  in  case  shee 
were  any  wayes  sould,  as  the  pties  uppon  groundles  testi- 
monies &  circumstances  doe  alledge. 

5.  Whereas  Edw.  Bendall  saith,  that  John  Jarvis  tooke 
no  care  for  fitting  of  her  out  to  sea,  it  will  appeare  that  Isaac 
Addington  tooke  up  an  hundd  pounds  for  his  use  at  Bottom- 
ary,  for  the  w''^  money  John  Jarvis  hath  underwritten  as 
taken  up  by  Isaac  Addington  for  the  use  of  his  third  pt  of 
the  Unicorne. 

6.  Whereas  Edw.  Bendall  saith  that  by  vertue  of  an 
order  given  the  M'  for  sale  of  the  shipp,  that  John  Jarvis 
had  sould  his  interest  in  her,  it  is  false  &  untrue,  ffor  John 
Jarvis  never  assented  to  any  such  sale  as  they  say  they  had 
made  of  her. 

7.  Whereas  Ed:  Bendall  saith  that  John  Jarvis  saith  in 
the  begining  of  his  ptest  that  London  was  the  Port  of  M' 
Addingtons  discharge  from  the  shipp,  it  is  also  false  & 
untrue,  for  the  s**  John  Jarvis  there  declareth  that  London 
was  the  port  of  his  discharge,  that  is,  of  the  voyage  from 
Virginia,  &  there  he  was  to  give  a  true  &  just  account,  unto 
his  owners,  w"^  he  hath  not  done,  as  it  will  evidently  be  made 
so  to  appeare. 

8.  Whereas  Edw.  Bendall  saith  that  at  London  M' 
Addington  gave  John  Jarvis  an  Account  under  his  hand, 
the  very  same  w''^  he  hath  now  done,  &  proved  in  Court  as 
he  saith.  Although  the  Accounts  given  by  him  in  London 
^ch  proved  here  to  be  his,  w"^  Accounts  are  not  true  &  just : 
all  w*''^  will  evidently  be  made  to  appeare. 

Edw.  Bendalls  Answer  followeth. 

1.  To  the  article  he  saith,  M'  Addingtons  designe  for 
Malago  was  publickly  spoken  of  uppon  the  Exchange  & 
therefore  unlike  M"'  Jarvis  should  be  ignorant. 
Besides  M''  Jarvis  in  his  5***  Article  saith  he  underwritt  for 
Bottomary  for  his  pt  of  the  shipp,  &  therefore  could  not  be 
ignorant;  But  he  doubts  of  the  truth  of  such  underwriteing 
vnles  pad  venture  he  writ  that  he  never  meant  to  pay. 
And  for  the  voyage  to  Canaries  it  was  publickly  knowne 
throughout  the  towne  &  therefore  M'  Jarvis  could  not  be 
ignorant  as  he  pretends. 


AspmwALL  Notarial  Records.  365 

2.  To  the  2^.  he  saith,  that  the  Records  will  evince  that 
M'  Addington  &  Capt  Leveret  were  not  the  cause  of  his 
putting  of  from  Court  to  Court  (as  the  ptest  imports)  but 
M'  Jarvis  him  selfe  was  the  cause. 

3.  To  the  3*^  he  saith.  that  the  Ace**,  as  the  Auditors 
brought  it  in,  appeared  to  the  Court  &  Jury  to  be  just. 
Only  the  Atturney  wanted  his  proof es  to  one  pctr  about  the 
seamens  wages :  But  since  the  Court  one  of  those  men  came 
in,  who  can  testify  his  receipt  thereof. 

4.  To  the  4*^  he  saith,  M'^  Jarvis  did  not  sue  for  his 
third  p**  of  the  shipp  or  Account  of  the  same  as  sould  by 
Isaac  Addington,  but  for  an  Account  of  the  voyages  &  im- 
ployments  of  a  third  pt  w"*'  he  denyeth  to  be  sould  by  any 
order  of  his,  &  therefore  the  Court  &  Jury  could  not  find 
that  w*=^  was  not  comprized  in  the  Action,  but  if  M"^  Adding- 
ton have  not  Accounted  already  w'^  M"^  Jarvis  for  the  said 
third  pt  he  makes  no  question  but  he  will  doe  it  w*^  out 
trouble  or  suite  at  lawe. 

5.  To  the  5*^  he  saith,  no  such  thing  was  p  ved  in  Court 
(nor  that  he  remembers  once  pleaded)  that  M''  Jarvis  under- 
writ  for  his  p*  of  Bottomary  in  the  malago  voyage,  nor  doth 
be  believe  he  did. 

6.  To  the  6^^^  he  saith  that  Capt  Leverett  (then  having  a 
pt)   uppon  oath  testified  that  both  himselfe  &    M''   Jarvis 

[Page  328.] 

gave  order  to  the  M'"  to  sell  her  &  M'  Jarvis  in  Court 
acknowledged  that  he  gave  order  to  sell  her  though  at  a 
higher  rate.  And  since  the  Court  he  understands  from  such 
as  knew  the  shipp  that  shee  was  sould  to  her  full  worth  or 
more. 

7  To  the  V^  he  needs  no  Answ'.  because  though  M'  Jar- 
vis seem  to  deny  yet  at  length  confesseth  the  very  words, 
only  w*'*  an  explication  &  gloss  e  that  will  not  agree  w*^  the 
text. 

The  Eight  being  pure  non-sense  he  can  give  no  answer  to 
it.
